Majjhima Nikaya

The Majjhima Nikaya («Collection of Middle-length Discourses») is the second of the five nikayas, or collections, in the Sutta Pitaka, which is one of the «three baskets» that compose the Pali Tipitaka. This nikaya consists of 152 discourses by the Buddha and his chief disciples, which together constitute a comprehensive body of teaching concerning all aspects of the Buddha’s teachings.
